PHOENIX — The second time wasn't a charm for the Phoenix girls basketball team.

Mazama, which beat the Pirates by 26 points in a nonleague game last Saturday, downed Phoenix 64-41 in the Skyline Conference opener on Friday.

Hannah Reynolds had 16 points and Megan Morris 14 points for the Vikings (11-2, 1-0 Sky), who led 35-16 at halftime.

Bailee Tally recorded 10 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals and Kasey Hamilton scored 12 points for the Pirates (7-4, 0-1), who missed a pair of layups late in the second quarter just after Tally knocked down a momentum-building 3-pointer. Mazama finished the first half with a surge, adding to a lead that Phoenix chipped away at in the second half.

The Loggers (7-3, 3-0 MVL) outscored Trinity Lutheran 31-10 in the second half to pull away. Joli Hobbs had 11 rebounds and six points, Raleigh Weaver had 13 rebounds and seven points and Sierra Kirkpatrick had six points and six assists.
